As for primaries... Scorcher is shortclipped and you need to use your sidearm for trash but it deals with the whole bot lineup head on and at remarkable range, even scout striders (I usually take it with Quasar). If I have an AMR/AC then you have some less versatile but more deadly options that pair well.... Jar is very good for devastators and Berserkers. Slugger is aight if you always hit and you stay moving (I like it a lot still but it's my style). Sickle is good as well, just gotta get those headers (rotate to secondary when it heats). No matter what you use you just have to hit the head shots (or belly on zerkers) or the TTK on Devastators is too crazy.

Edit: For primaries either the dominator, eruptor, crossbow or the plasma grenade shotgun whatever its called are all good choices. Dominators just great all around against bots with its high damage, the other 3 are explosives with high damage and good blast radius, can take out small striders with frontal shots also

The crossbow felt like a gimped eruptor to me but I haven’t compared them since the patch.

Running the dominator I have no problem with any of the mediums. Even if it takes a few shots you can take out devastators at range and berserkers at any distance. Autocannon is a beautiful gun but it doesn’t kill tanks or drop ships, which is why I run an AT support weapon. I find the grenade pistol secondary to be decent for taking out fabs if I’m running impact grenades as well. My idea is to have a load out that can kill any class of enemy; haven’t used the sickle much because it doesn’t impress me vs the mid-size guys. Bot trash is just irrelevant compared to bug spam.

Maybe getting good with the autocannon is the answer. Maneuver and shoot weak spots. Bug game is just so different; always running, always shooting, reacting more important than planning.

Eruptor nerf unintentional

I have been a Sony player since my family got a Playstation back in 1998. I got the PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 all within two years of their respective release dates. Resident Evil, one of my favorite game series, has been a long-standing Sony flagship title (save for the three years covering the releases of the Gamecube remake, Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4). Even with my fond history and experiences with Sony products, I don't understand what is compelling these living, breathing, Non-Player Characters to suck Sony's corporate cock and mock PC users for trying to break a terrible industry norm (3rd party accounts and terms of service).

The people freaking out about Sony's data leakage are using it as an excuse, but they don't need an excuse to recognize that requiring 3rd party accounts is one of the many issues with modern gaming. There's nothing wrong with pushing back against what Sony did, doubly so if you have third worlders being scammed as a result. That's ammunition. That gives more credit to ending this crap than "I'm uncomfy with giving my Steam handle to Sony", and that ammunition should be used when it can to make this a better, friendlier market for consumers.

This new crop of morons is entirely a recent phenomenon, a byproduct of a weird-as-fuck worldview that believes that gaming needs to be more restrictive, with more single points of failure and more top-down control. It's why the same clowns championing Sony making decisions like this also like to pretend that Steam is some kind of vicious, amoral monopoly ignoring that Steam at no point mandates you sell exclusively on their platform.

It's brought to you by the mindset that gaming needs to be more like film and television, and if that isn't enough to convince you that people with this viewpoint are worthy only of scorn, nothing will.

It fills a similar roll just with a faster fire rate, lower damage and slower projectile (though the latter has been buffed since the last patch making it much easier to hit distant targets now). It holds its own better at closer ranges because of this IMO. Ultimately it results in better crowd control via more explosions, but at the cost of base damage for each individual shot, which does become noticeable when focusing on medium targets (devastators, brood commanders), you need to get good at targetting their limbs to make the most of it in those situations.

That’s what I don’t like about it. If I’m carrying something with a 5-round magazine I’m not using it when I’m swamped and need to escape or clear a horde. I’ll use the Redeemer or the Stalwart for that, or a shotgun if I took one. Explosive gun with limited ammo makes more sense for the big lads, so I’ll take the bigger hit over faster fire. Not to say other people couldn’t use it well but to me it’s neither fish nor fowl. It is a lukewarm gun and I spit it out.

The tranny Misty too. I'm ambivalent towards twinbeard; he's a faggot but he's said some funny shit.

Twinbeard's going nowhere. He kept his cool in a hurricane of hate. Baskinator, unsurprisingly, did not. She was noticed by Grummz a month ago when he was salivating about gook tiddy physics and how awesome it will be when Sony totally doesn't cover up catsuit cameltoe. He took a moment to note that Helldivers has wokies on their team and Baskinator changed her Twitter account shortly after to tone down the political messaging and either blocked Grummz or "protected" her account.

I'm looking for his Tweet where he screenshotted the protection/blocking, but I can't find it. This sage burning, tranny fellating, high-school-wiccan looking cow knew that she was already on the radar of GamerGate 2.0 nearly a month in advance and still had the gall to praise the account linking as a way to help her ban players easier, on May 3rd, the day Sony broke the news. She's the head CM and she's done more damage than any of them. How she still has a job is an absolute mystery to me.

Had a lot of fun in this game. If I get someone else into this game (and I get good), I'll start them off at Level 4 difficulty since that seems like a good balance between doable and chaotic for 2 people.

Also Factory Striders are giganiggers who should lose weight.

I am guessing that the shrapnel for the eruptor ignored lower tear armor witch is why it would one shot most of them. its not a bad tool for closing bug holes or factory's at a great distance but it does need the ability to put down those larger trash mobs without taking a bunch of pot shots to do so.

They should give Eruptor level 4 armor penetration and remove the explosion so it can be a bolt action amr instead of a bolt action grenade launcher (or a bolt action crossbow as it currently is)

I kinda think this is what we are about to get from the new pack. An energy explosive riffle akin to the Scorcher crossed with the Eruptor. It probably won't be bolt action but will need to be charged for max dmg so also slow fire rate big dmg.

I think the new rifle should be lvl 3 armor pen instead of 4
Actually I don't think the swedes will give any primary weapon lvl 4 penetration as that will be "unbalanced" to them
 
A note on the armor penetration
There should be 10 level of armor/armor penetration in game. If your weapon have higher penetration lvl than enemy armor lvl you can deal full damage to it, when your weapon have same level penetration as enemy armor you should be only dealing half damage to it

Most primary weapon with " light armor penetration"should be lvl 2 armor pen while "middium armor penetration " should be lvl 3
Most small enemies (such as scavenger, warrior or automaton troops) have lvl 1 armor so most weapons will deal full damage to them
The only lvl 2 armor enemy should be the brood commander, that's why liberator penetrator kills them faster than standard liberator while it being inferior in other aspects
The hive guard front armor should be lvl 3, but I think weapons like scorcher or Eruptor that have explosion will deal full damage to them
The chicken strider and hulk's eye should be 4 while autocannon and amr on same level so you can kill them from front ( you can kill strider with explosive primary but it won't work on hulk though)
Charger, bt , tank and hulks armor part and weapons like rr, eat or quasar should be 5
I not quite sure about higher level but buildings like rouge station, commander bunker and 500kg bomb should be higher so you can't kill them with any rocket launcher but 500kg always do the job
Hellbomb should be 10 btw

All this can be wrong though as I didn't do any data mine, but the logic mostly works

Could...could a dev team actually be learning that these type of people are cancer to your community?

Looks like Grummz tried to say that Spitz got thrown under the bus and got venom spat at him. Well, considering that the guy just got booted from his position and it's because of all this drama bullshit, I can see why he'd respond this way.

Oh, he's a reddit admin. Good riddance, then.

Lol, they ALL should be fired for how they handled the PSN thing. Spitz just accidently helped the player base the most by saying to do refunds and bad reviews when he probably had no idea that the group of people training for the last 3 months to grind out objectives would actually pull it off.

Because woman. They are perfect for the role as any critical comments are always "sexism" and then into "death threats, rape threats" etc etc. They are immune to any accountability for their actions.

White women are in for a rude awakening if black women ever get this shit together and go for the same jobs, and white women will be booted in a heart beat. Of course they will blame anyone but themselves as they always do, but it will be funny.
